To reduce the impact on daytime traffic, all construction work for this project will take place at night. Traffic maintenance and lane reversal control measures will be implemented during this period, and residents commuting between Sanmin District and Niaosong District are advised to stay attentive.
As the construction of the Kaohsiung MRT Yellow Line continues to progress, the Mass Rapid Transit Bureau has previously completed road repaving work on Dapi Road (from Changgeng Road to Zhengxiu Road) and Chengqing Road (from Shuiyuan East Road to Guangfu Road).
The Mass Rapid Transit Bureau stated today that from July 12 to July 14, road repaving will proceed on Jiangong Road (from Dachang 2nd Road to Dashun 2nd Road); from July 14 to July 16, repaving will be conducted on Benguan Road (from Dachang Road to Fenyang Road); and from July 16 to July 18, repaving will take place on Qiuchang Road (from Wenzhong 1st Lane to Lane 203, Jiangong Road). Construction hours each day will be from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning.
To minimize the impact of construction on traffic, lane reversal or phased closures will be implemented as needed for each section. Drivers passing through construction zones such as Jiangong Road, Benguan Road, and Qiuchang Road are requested to detour in advance onto surrounding alternative routes, such as Dashun 2nd Road, Jiuru 1st Road, and Chengqing Road. Nighttime LED warning facilities will be installed at the construction site, and additional volunteer traffic police will be deployed to direct traffic to ensure nighttime driving safety.
